Lobby

Overall, very nice hotel. Comfortable. Accommodating. My comments would be that the bed was just OK. The breakfast, just OK typical items on the menu. The gym, doable at least there's a view. All the handles on the cable machine are gone. And in my room, the mini blinds to cover the window have a broken cord. So I manually had to pull them down, but I couldn't get them up in the morning. However, nice staff and very visually open and appealing decor but definitely stay here again.

Previous guest's trash still bagged in the can

Updating review. My first stay here was excellent, but this stay was really poor. At first glance everything looks as great as before, till we actually got settled in According to the hampton business card left in our room, the room was "cleaned" by Laurencia prior to our check in - Room was cleaned with a rush job. Previous guest's drinks were in the fridge, and their trash was bagged in the trash can. - The toilet paper was downgraded to the thinnest 2-ply toilet paper, it was basically single ply. - When we checked in, they ran out of guest water bottles. - last time the pillows were plump, this time they were flat and lumpy - bathroom door won't stay closed. - shower door won't stay closed - the fan won't stay on. We had the fan on continuous, however it would turn itself off after about 2-3 hours. I feel like this must be a pre-set eco setting (it was on continuous, not auto). Since it would turn off, we'd wake up in the middle of the night feeling hot, and had to turn it back on Not sure if cutting corners to save time and money, but it's not a good look

Hotel Fact: "There are two places on earth where you have little to no chance of finding a hotel industry job. There are no hotels in Vatican City, the smallest country in the world. (So you'll have to settle for Rome, if you're looking for hospitality employment in the area.) Antarctica also has just one lodging facility; luxury camp White Desert has just six "suites" and is open November and December." ― www.hcareers.com It's not a bad hotel. It's modern, clean, and depending on which room and what floor you're on, you get the view of the bay and the Spanish Landing. Just a short drive to the Liberty Market area, Little Italy, and the downtown area, this place is in a great centralized location. With daily complimentary breakfast and all-day access to coffee, tea, and water, you're taken care of. The rooms themselves were clean and spacious, they have comfy beds and pillows, the water pressure is a little weak, and the "curtains" are more useless than the "g" in lasagna. I think Hampton Inn & Suites is decent.

Great central location. Very close to the airport and all attractions ...15-20 minute drive to Downtown San Diego, Seaport, Coronado Island, Balboa Park, Old Town and La Jolla. Easy access from the main road. Large parking lot shared with Towneplace Suites. My only gripe is there are many spaces marked as "Clean Air/Van Pool/ EV", many of which are in front of the hotel, convenient to the main entrance. As a precaution, I did NOT park my standard vehicle in these space and opted to park around the side, which is a further walk to the front. Parking was $15 per night. Easy check-in process...we were able to check in a bit early at 1pm. (Check-in time is normally 3pm here) Lobby was very clean and well-maintained. Lots of open space and seating areas/tables. Room was good. Small kitchenette-ish area with sink, mini fridge and microwave. Sofabed. Adequate temperature control. Good water pressure. Comfortable bedding and sheets. Large desk/table. TV with lots of channels available. Bathroom was good...but...biggest gripe is the door. The bathroom door was a sliding door, which when "fully closed" left a 1" gap where other people in the front area of the room can see the toilet...and the person who may be sitting on the toilet. Definitely a design error...I spoke to one of the maintenance staff in the hallway who acknowledged the flaw and said all rooms are like that. Rooms were quiet with minimal noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms. Hot breakfast was standard with the standard continental fare: coffee, juices, cereal, bagels, muffins, fruit, waffle-maker, yogurt and usually two options. Served from 6am - 10am. Fitness center was adequate with a few cardio machines, free weights and weight machine. Laundry machines (3 washers and 6 dryers) were functional and coin-operated. ($ 1.50 per load...change available at the front desk) Pool seemed neat but we did not have a chance to use it. Super friendly staff including check-in/front desk and breakfast staff.

Extremely clean and well-appointed all around. Ample continental breakfast in the mornings. Spacious and comfy beds. Drinking water readily available on all floors and a modern well-stocked gym! A great value for a stay in the San Diego area!

Bathroom

Pretty good value. Check in was smooth. Room was clean. Staff were attentive. Free breakfast. 24/7 access to coffee/tea/water in lobby. Decent gym setup. Free shuttle to airport. It was about a 20 min walk from baggage claim at SD Airport to the front door of Hampton Inn. It's a good walk to stretch the legs after a flight. The lobby is clean, spacious and updated. Breakfast was pretty good. Rotating-ish menu, with the staples of eggs, waffles, sausage, potatoes, scones/breads, cereal and juice. The room was clean, firm bed, which I liked. The pillows were a bit too "fluffy", either that or I have a big, heavy head. The bathroom sink water does have a sulfur smell to it. It's like if your water filter went bad, but it isn't harmful (I wouldn't drink it though). Water pressure in shower was fine. Good sound insulation, didn't hear planes from my room. This will prob be my go-to when traveling to SD in the future. I am curious if I can specifically request the room I stayed in. Nice view. Check em out if it's conducive to what you want when you visit.

Well worth it to stay here if you want to visit San Diego. Perfectly located right by the airport and beautiful marina. It's in close proximity from Sea Port Village and many other San Diego attractions. The hotel is new and fairly modern. There is gym and pool on the premises. They also offer complimentary breakfast. The room was spacious and clean, however, some extra attention to vacuuming would be advisable. The bathroom had good size walk-in shower and they offer eco friendly toiletries which is a major plus. Would stay here again.

Excellent hotel. Very new with a huge and spacious lobby. Easy back and forth to airport. They have a shuttle. Well placed for my meetings around the area. Rooms are clean and well equipped. This is within walking distance of Liberty Station which has so many shops and places to eat. Great fitness center and pool and places to sit outside and relax. Staff is very friendly and checkin/checkout is a breeze. A great place for a great price.

Xander and Kitty the day after Xander was diagnosed with T1D.

This hotel is the best! We were only there one night for the JDRF One Walk the following day, and our experience was fantastic. Everything was super clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. My only minor gripe would be the weak shower pressure. Here's why this hotel will always be number one in our book: About a week after our stay, we realized we'd accidentally left Xander's favorite stuffed animal, Kitty, behind at the hotel. Oops. Mommy called the hotel and spoke with a very kind lady who said she'd seen Kitty and would be happy to send him back to Xandy. She just asked for postage to be sent. Well, we received a delivery after returning home from the endocrinologist yesterday. I think Kitty had fun in San Diego but was a little bummed about his ride back home - it must have been tough to breathe in that box. haha He's home now, and Xander and him are both happy. Funny enough, Xander asked about Kitty a couple of times since then, but we'd change the subject. I'm glad Kitty made it back before Xander discovered the truth! Kitty is extra special because he's been through it all with Xander, including when he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Big thanks to the people at Hampton Inn & Suites for keeping him safe .

See all

I am so happy I found this place via AARP! Located in the heart of the Gaslamp District, I had never heard of this hotel prior to searching. Upon checking in, the desk clerk was very friendly, efficient, and answered any questions that I had. As for the room, he put us up on the top (4th) floor. Room is the perfect size for two people. Very clean, warm, inviting, and has some really cute and convenient amenities such as a pineapple themed USB quad port at the desk, along with a Keurig machine (had I known that I'd have brought my own Starbucks K-cups)! The bed was nice and comfy with lots of soft but supportive pillows and two separate comforter blankets so you're not fighting for covers if you are sharing the bed with someone or your significant other. Bathroom is very modern and clean. A hairdryer is hanging in the bathroom as well. The only item missing was an iron and an ironing board; however, you can request that at the front desk. If you are looking for a hotel with a gym, laundry facilities on site, and a full breakfast buffet or continental breakfast, then this place is not for you; however, if those things don't matter to you {I typically look for those types of hotels during a longer stay) then this hotel is all you need. You also get other unexpected creature comforts such as Starbucks coffee in the lounge along with 4 different blends of water as well as these cute pineapple cookies in the afternoon. Based in Seattle, WA, I am so happy I found this chain as I will be on the lookout and consider staying in other cities. Parking is available in a garage connected to the hotel next door for a fee. Also, bikes are available in the lobby for getting around (not sure if gratis or for a fee). I definitely recommend staying here! One small recommendation for the hotel: provide rooms with a small microwave and mini fridge to reheat leftovers. It all worked out as I gave a homeless guy mine.

It may not be the most updated hotel on the boardwalk, but it has everything you need. The staff is always welcoming, the house keeping staff are friendly and trustworthy, the parking lot is gated and secured by a guard throughout the day, the rooms are always clean the grounds are well maintained, and after all the years of being loyal visitors, we have yet to experience anything negative at this property. I love that the grounds are secure and you can allow your children to go into the courtyard area and play the provided games with peace of mind- knowing that they'll be safe. They provide tons of outdoor seating options and grills for tenants, which makes cooking a breeze. In order to enter from the beach/boardwalk, you must have a room key to enter the premises- another awesome perk. This keeps all the riff-raft out of the area. &At night, they also require a room key to enter through the front of the building- which is a newer feature, and much appreciated. You can leave your beach toys & chairs outside your room without worrying about someone coming to steal it. We have locked our bikes up downstairs in the courtyard area & nobody messes with them. This is such a great place to stay & an amazing tradition that our family has. We look forward to our visit every May!

The room had a partial bay view and it was literally walking distance to almost everything in the area. Little Italy, Seaport Village, and downtown San Diego! We were able to enjoy the breakfast buffet served in the morning, which had a nice selection of food and drinks . There's also a couple minimarts and food spots including Starbucks located right outside the hotel. The rooftop pool is so amazing. It's away from all the noise and traffic of downtown San Diego and has a partial view of the bay as well. The harbor and sky restaurant was so convenient for us. We were able to dine in for lunch many times and we truly enjoyed the food and service here! Service here was just beyond amazing and the self parking was extremely convenient and considerably cheaper than most places ($45 per night). Overall, I would definitely recommend this stay!

My wife and I stayed at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina while I was participating in a…read moreconference, and we very much enjoyed our stay. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and ours offered a wonderful view of the bay and even the ocean beyond, with a clear view of Point Loma. Down below was Roy's Restaurant and the pool area. While our bay view king room did not have a balcony, the window did have the ability to slightly open if we wanted to hear the sounds or get some fresh air. With the window closed, the room was very quiet, so we had no noise issues. We also didn't hear noise from any neighbors, with the exception of the occasional person talking the hall or letting a room door close. Though the beds were not the most comfortable we've ever had, they were comfortable enough for both of us, though the pillows weren't my favorite because they were the kind of feather pillows you need to bunch up so they aren't too thin. They aren't very soft or spongy. Nonetheless, I was able to sleep on them sufficiently well. We can be a little picky about beds and getting good sleep, and we slept fine. Unfortunately, like many hotels, the sink, toilet, and shower/tub are all in one room, making it less convenient for two people to be doing things at the same time, especially since there is only one sink. There was a decent amount of lighting and space for toiletry items. We had no major complaints about the room, but we did have a broken toilet paper fixture in the bathroom on the wall next to the toilet that resulted in the toilet paper falling on the floor several times. Service was super friendly, but it was difficult to reach the front desk at times without a very long wait on the phone. When I called down to request a luggage rack for the room, I was told someone would bring one up, but it never came. I had to walk to the front desk to ask for one, which was later delivered. They do have an automated attendant that lets you request a limited number of items, and I was able to request a robe for my wife that way. While we were there, the elevators were a problem for a lot of people. For part of the time we were there, some in our tower were not working, causing relatively long waits for the remaining elevators and sometimes multiple stops on the way down or up at peak use times. The hotel said they were working on it, and things did seem to improve a little by the time we checked out. The property itself is beautiful and laid out well for its limited space in this part of town. Once inside, and even outside when walking the grounds near the pool, you are in a bit of a protected oasis that doesn't make you feel like you are sandwiched between the bay and the street out front. We ate outside every day with the conference, and the area we were in was super pleasant. There are a number of restaurants on property, but since we were usually eating with the conference, we didn't have time to try any except for the Marketplace. It was very expensive for most items, but the quality was really good, and we never had much of a wait. They serve Starbucks coffee here, but you can probably save a bit of money if you get that (or mobile order) from the on-site Starbucks, which is in a different part of the building. The food served at the conference was of good quality. If you go to many conferences, you'll find it to be competitive with any of the better resorts, though, in my opinion and as one might expect, it doesn't outshine the Ritz-Carlton or certain J.W. Marriott facilities. The food service staff for the conference were excellent, helpful, and fast. The hotel is in a very convenient area downtown on the bay next to the San Diego Convention Center. Traffic in the short distance between here and the freeway can be bad depending on time of day or events happening at either the convention center, downtown, or at Petco Park, where the Padres play, but the distance is short enough for it not to be much of a headache in most cases. I doubt you'll find very many cities with access this easy from the hotel to the airport and all of the local attractions, including, in this case, the Gaslamp District, Little Italy, Coronado, the bayside attractions, Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and more. Hotel parking is expensive, of course, so if you don't really need a car, I highly recommend using Uber or Lyft or walking to get around to the nearest things. Overall, I would certainly stay here again, and I do highly recommend this hotel if you are attending a conference or vacationing in this part of the city and can afford the price point.

The valet parking was around $70 so we found a parking lot a few blocks away. The walk wasn't bad so a good alternative. The location is close to the convention center and stadium, but if you're not coming to SD for those places, I wouldn't say this is a central location. I booked through Chase Sapphire Reserve The Edit and got the following perks: 1. Upgrade to higher floor room 2. Amenity (a box of chocolates) 3. $100 credit (used on lunch at Provisional Kitchen) 4. $60 breakfast credit (used at Provisional Kitchen) 5. Early check in (got in at 1:30pm); late check out (12:30pm) Honestly a good stay but without those perks, I'd rather book elsewhere not in downtown with options for parking.

For something that is downtown that is saying something. I could not hear a single thing at night. They must have solid 10 foot concrete walls. The AC panel is great and easy to program if you like constant AC for sleeping and to block out any outside noise.

This hotel was super conveniently located right on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach, it was perfect…read morefor me. I paid an arm and a leg for the room but it was absolutely massive and I had sliding glass doors directly onto my own private patio which was right next to the pool overlooking the ocean, it was really incredible despite how outdated the room felt, somehow the size of the room made it more modern and it felt clean. The people at the front desk were young, fun, outgoing, really friendly and I appreciated that. They told me about some happy hour they were having later in the day and I felt very welcome here unlike other hotels I stayed at in the San Diego area. The bathroom was huge in my room, very weird vibe, like felt cabin-like, I don't know how else to explain it, but it was spacious, big countertop by the sink plenty of room to get ready. The coffee bar had an enormous countertop which was great for keeping all of my things, huge mirrors everywhere too. The bed was really comfortable, again great view outside, awesome staff. It was so nice to be able to walk the boardwalk and pop back in here whenever I needed to grab something or use the restroom. Walking distance to everything. Highly recommend, I would definitely stay here again. But I probably won't because the cost is INSANE. Sorry but it is. Also housekeeping found my jewelry box loaded with jewelry and returned it to the front desk who subsequently shipped it back to my house for me. For a charge of course but I do appreciate the honesty of the staff that goes a long long way! Thank you!!

Absolutely Wonderful Anniversary Getaway at the Hotel del Coronado…read more My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary with a beautiful weekend stay at the iconic Hotel del Coronado in a King Room with an Oceanview Balcony. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel special. The two young ladies who checked us in were an absolute delight. They looked like sisters but are actually best friends, and their genuine warmth and kindness made the start of our stay so memorable. The concierge was equally fantastic, ensuring our bags were delivered quickly and that we were comfortably settled in our room. The property itself is breathtaking...! The meticulously maintained gardens and stunning California coastal location provided the perfect romantic setting. We enjoyed outstanding fine dining experiences at both Nobu del Coronado and Seréa. What truly touched us was returning to our room to find a thoughtful happy anniversary card and a small box of delicious chocolates from the front desk team. It was such a sweet and personal touch. We were genuinely sad to leave and will absolutely be returning. Thank you to the entire team at the Hotel del Coronado for making our anniversary weekend so special!

Three stars on Yelp--that's about right. We treated ourselves to one night at The Del as a special…read moretreat, and we can honestly say that it wasn't worth it because the vast majority of what you experience at the hotel is also widely available to the public--so you better love crowds. We booked the most inexpensive room (at almost $800/night), which means that we were relegated to the euphemistically-named "The Views," which is the back building with ZERO "views," and is essentially like one step up from a glorified Holiday Inn. The room is beyond basic, the bathroom is tiny, and they don't even give you little extras to make it feel somewhat special. Maybe if we had gone for the almost $2,000 a night room we would have felt like we arrived, but not in the slums of "The Views." Even as a guest, you get no discounted rate for the activities the hotel offers, like the tour and the movie night on the beach. Of the 90- minute tour, only 20-30 minutes were in the actual hotel itself. Our guide was very sweet and knowledgable, but it was way too long, and they probably only have it that long to justify the cost. The movie night on the beach was another overpriced scam, where you are on chairs surrounded by fire pits (we chose not to upgrade to the $400 "s'mores option"), so you leave smelling like burnt ends. At least our daughter had a good time. Basically, the only "exclusive" thing we did was take our daughter to the pool, which did not even have a lifeguard!!! Which is outrageous. We had the pleasure of ordering a $23 cocktail and $14 beer there though. So, all in all, stay in a "regular" hotel and then just come and enjoy The Del like the rest of the swarming packs of people that are equally welcome to descend on the property. Do not eat here! The food is overpriced and terrible (see our previous review for Serea). Listen, they did a great job with the restoration, and this place is an institution, but you don't need to shell out thousands of dollars to "enjoy" it.
